Narrative:

I'm working R2 with heavy traffic and lots of VFR going to tncm with a lot of airliners inbound to tncm. The VFR's are various types. They can make well over 10;000 MSL and go over 200 knots. They are constantly in the middle of the departure and inbound gate of tncm airport above 15;000 MSL. They are constantly in the way and we gave them advisories and turns but sometimes you don't have a lot of choices where to turn them. Is a really dangerous corridor. Also aircraft landing tkpk and tkpn descent to 6000 MSL over gabar and we constantly encounter VFR aircraft at 6;500 over gabar and all of this is non radar area. They need to regulate VFR traffic around this areas. They are constantly approaching IFR aircraft at low altitude and non radar. Specially on weekends that tncm and tkpk get heavy traffic.
